Droplets of wisdom from Down Under

He referred me to a series of "droplet" briefings that he had written with Jim McColl between 2006 and 2009. I finally got 'round to reading them recently, and I recommend them highly if you want to learn a little more about water policy in Australia or take some new ideas for use in your local area.

Cullenisms: Thinking about water Wisdom from a recently-deceased colleague. Why meter water? "Disconnecting the fuel gauge might be one way to stop worrying about how much fuel might be left, but it's a pretty stupid strategy."

I would be interested to know if you have studied the barrages at the end of the River Murray? Did you know that the barrages have changed the nature of the River Murray estuary from estuarine to fresh water? During the worst of the drought, the dry estuary or lake bed dries out. This is a man-made problem. Even Mike Young chooses to not comment on the barrages. Some background for you at this site http://www.lakesneedwater.org/barrages . Cheers.
